Providing a medical home for a child or adolescent and his or her family means establishing a longitudinal relationship between the primary care clinician (PCC) and the family. PCC's, by implementing routine screening and surveillance, have the opportunity at every encounter with the family to promote healthy development-motor, language, cognitive, and social-emotional.
